    What does dmesg show in relation to this SSD? From what you've said, "the partition table" is at a separate level and not relevant to the current issue... You say "shows as sdb" and "not visibile to fdisk", which contradict each other... what do you mean and/or what error does fdisk report?

  • Apologies, I'm not very familiar with how drives work. Lsblk shows sdb and labelled with the correct capacity. Fdisk -l lists every other drive except sdb, then the function keeps running with no other output - presumably it is trying to detect sdb but running into errors?
